Colchicine to reduce excess blood clotting and inflammation in older people
This study is looking at whether a low dose of colchicine, a common and safe medicine used for gout, can reduce blood clotting and inflammation in older people. These processes can lead to heart attacks and strokes. We want to see if colchicine can lower the risk of these problems by reducing inflammation and platelet (clotting) activity. People in the study will either take colchicine or continue with their usual care for 1 month, and we’ll compare the results.
Bitter taste sensitivity with diet in Australian adults
We are inviting adults in Australia to take part in a research study exploring how your sensitivity to bitter tastes may relate to your eating habits, diet quality, and weight status.

Participation involves a short, anonymous 15 minute online survey. You will have the chance to win 1 of 4 $50 e-gift cards.
RESOURCE
We’re inviting adults aged 18-70, with or without type 2 diabetes, to take part in a study exploring how low-calorie sweeteners may affect blood sugar levels through their action on the kidneys.
